    Features

    [edit | edit source]

    The current versions of Procreate use Valkyrie, a proprietary graphics engine to allow customizable brush options and importing brushes from Adobe Photoshop.[12] The app also allows for animation. Savage expanded upon Procreate's Animation features with the companion app dedicated to 2D animation called Procreate Dreams, released in November 2023.[13][14] While the application is commended for its intuitive interface and accessibility,[15] some reviewers have noted that it may lack some key animations features, such as reference layers.[16]

    On August 2024, Procreate announced that it would not be incorporating generative artificial intelligence into its software.[17]
